Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: “I portray a young and older Makeba, connected by the thread of young Makeba's mic to elderly Makeba's finger. The young Makeba in the background illustrates her bright spirit as she endured her agony and exile from South Africa to motivate others to attain equality peacefully.”
